Maybe not Every Day

I knew I wasn’t  going to keep up with the whole daily thing, but here’s an update for the last few days.
 
Saturday evening we went to a private party at Enchanted Village/Wild Waves (an amusement/water park) put on by Alaska Airlines for their employees’ families and friends.  One of our good friends works for Alaska and invited us.  It was cold and rainy, but we all had fun anyway.  Santa was there and there were tons of lights everywhere.  It was cool.

And yesterday was Weight Watcher’s Monday.  I was obviously all gung-ho last week and did really well until Friday, but then fell apart over the weekend like usual.  I managed to be down 0.4, but I had been down almost 3 pounds on Thursday.  Sigh.  And I haven’t been diligent about tracking like I said I was going to be, although I was pretty good Monday through Thursday, and I never went to the Y a 2nd time OR did the 7-minute workout app.  I did try to go up and down the stairs a lot at work and just lots of walking and the occasional push-up or crunches, but I really need to do more.  And I really need to be better about meal planning and prep.  I made a bunch of freezer meals a few months ago but they are all gone now.
 
Anyway, one of my goals is to have a net loss 3 weeks in a row, no matter how small.  If I’m successful that will be the first time since starting in July that I will have done that.

Show Us Your Life - Dining Rooms

It's time for this week's Show Us Your Life, brought to you by Kelly's Korner , and this week it's dining rooms. We have a very open floorplan, so when you walk in our front door the dining room is to the right and the living room to the left, with the fireplace straight ahead.  It's basically all one big room.     I bought the table and sideboard at Dania when I bought my first condo back in 2002.  It looked great in that condo, but for this house I wish I had black dining room furniture.  The table and sideboard are the same color as the trim, and then with the white walls (although we finally got one wall painted) it's just so blah.  And like most other rooms in the house, we have yet to hang curtains (not that we're going to hang them in every room, but we have yet to hang any). Looking in from the kitchen.  Need curtains! Looking in from the living room.  Notice the plastic protector underneath, for when the kids throw their sp...

Weigh-in Wednesday - Up and Down

So 2 weeks ago I skipped my weigh-in because of slacking off and then last week I skipped the weekly post altogether.  But I've since turned things around and am back on track. I've logged 2 good work outs so far this week.  On Monday I did C25K week 3 day 1 plus extra walking to equal 30 total minutes of cardio and then I did chest, shoulders and triceps.  Yesterday I did day 2 of C25K week 3 and legs.  Paul will be getting home later than usual for the rest of this week so I'm hoping the weather will cooperate so that I can just walk/run outside, as I won't have time to go to squeeze in the gym before dinner with him getting home later, or I could go after dinner but I don't really like to. So, after losing 7 pounds in April, I have since gained 8 (that's right-EIGHT) and lost 5.  OK, I probably didn't really gain 8.  That's what the scale said last Thursday but the very next day I was down 2.6 or 2.8 or something, so wh...

A Very Belated 2023 Recap

I guess I took a bit of a blogging break.  I only blogged three times last year and this will be my first post so far this year.  I just haven’t been in the mood but now suddenly I am.  We’ll see how long it lasts. Where to even begin?  A lot has happened since I last blogged.  The girls are about to turn 16, have jobs and are on the verge of getting their driver’s licenses.  We took an amazing trip to Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park, the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell and Las Vegas last summer.  We celebrated our 17th anniversary and are closing in on our 18th.  We attended some great concerts, did some fun hikes and have had lots of fun date nights, game nights and girl’s/guy’s nights out.  Ok, I guess that’s not all that much but whatever.  So, I guess to start off my 2024 blogging, I will recap 2023: I turned 54 in January. For President's Day weekend we went to Crescent Bar and from there Paul and Kayley went skiing at Mission Ridge and...
